The book defines a social system as any complex system formed by human beings. Focus is given to the importance of systems intervention design for specific and singular settings, the possibilities of engineering thinking and methods, the use of computational models in particular contexts, and the development of portfolios of solutions. Furthermore, this book considers both technical, human and social perspectives, which are crucial to solving complex problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial Systems Engineering: The Design of Complexity\u003c\/i\u003e provides modelling examples to explore the design aspect of social systems. Various applications are explored in a variety of areas, such as urban systems, health care systems, socio-economic systems, and environmental systems. It covers important topics such as organizational design, modelling and intervention in socio-economic systems, participatory and\/or community-based modelling, application of systems engineering tools to social problems, applications of computational behavioral modeling, computational modelling and management of complexity, and more. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights an engineering view to social systems (as opposed to a “scientific” view) that stresses the importance of systems intervention design for specific and singular settings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDivulges works where the design, re-design, and transformation of social systems constitute the main aim, and where joint considerations of both technical and social perspectives are deemed important in solving social problems\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures an array of applied cases that illustrate the application of social systems engineering in different domains\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSocial Systems Engineering: The Design of Complexity\u003c\/i\u003e is an excellent text for academics and graduate students in engineering and social science—specifically, economists, political scientists, anthropologists, and management scientists with an interest in finding systematic ways to intervene and improve social systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e César García-Díaz, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering, Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, Colombia.
